"A carnivore would be easier to care for in the Wilds," he agrees. And it would not rule out cute and cuddly, either. Although they are narrowing their options, that is probably a good thing, as too many choices can be just as difficult as too few.

"He has quite the collection of plants, too," Aziraphale replies, although he rather hopes Lucifer never finds out about his partner's habit of yelling at them. Not that Crowley has ever actually destroyed a plant, but the plants don't know that, making his threats rather credible. "Books he could take or leave, although he likes it when I read to him."

Lucifer's mention of Eve has him twisting his fingers together. "Yes... yes, of course, I remember..." he mutters, attempting to regain his composure. "And I'm familiar with the Book of Enoch, but there's no truth to it in my world, at least in that regard. I can't think of a single angel with a carnal interest in humans, and even if it did happen, we aren't capable of reproduction."

There's Lucifer and the anti-christ, but that was most definitely the exception that proved the rule. At any rate, no matter how it happened, Aziraphale can at least appreciate the seriousness of the situation. "Well, I can see why he defected, then, even with all the trouble he's causing. What does the poor girl think about all this?"
